A warm Saturday evening of photos in Red Hook (Brooklyn)
This past weekend we went to Red Hook in Brooklyn and I went on one of my periodic photowalks put on by Photograpals, a casual photography club here in New York City. Every two weeks we visit a new neighborhood and go for a short walk around, taking pictures as we go. My favorite walks…

Looking at looking at art at the Met
I was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York a few months ago and decided that, as a photo subject, the crowd was as interesting as the art. I feel like I saw a photo series a while back where the patrons looked like the subjects in the paintings which is what inspired…

Comparing the same moment on digital and film (Ricoh GR IIIx, Kodak Gold 200, iPhone)
I bought a new camera earlier this month, a film rangefinder called the Ricoh 500G. It’s a great little camera, which I purchased from New York Camera of Princeton (my favorite for used cameras). It’s relatively compact, has a bright viewfinder, and feels fun and intuitive. What follows is a little non-scientific comparison I did…
